Jason Statham was born in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, England on 26 July, 1967, although some sources say he's born in 1972. His father Barry Statham was a street seller and singer, and his mother Eileen was a dancer. The Englishman soon moved to Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and began learning martial arts and football. During his schooling, he also practiced diving and became a part of his country's national diving squad.
